My latest post will walk you through jailbreaking your Echo Show 5 Gen 1, or Echo Show 8 Gen 1, wiping Amazon’s Fire OS, and loading Lineage Android. You can then install the Home Assistant companion app, View Assist, Fully Kiosk or whatever you want to display your Home Assistant dashboard. In this post I cover:

  • Jail Breaking your Echo Show 5 or 8 (Gen 1)
  • Wipe Fire OS and load Android Lineage 18.1
  • Rooting Lineage
  • Install F-Droid with privileged extension (auto app updates)
  • Installing the Home Assistant Companion app
  • Tweaks for the Home Assistant Companion app
  • (Optional) Install Obtainium for View Assist
